But...but...but he could become a 15-times all-star with KG on the team.
KG can turn water into wine, iron into gold and Marbury into a decent human being.
Gerald Green would look like Paul Pierce with more athleticism.  ;)
In the summer of 2017, I predicted this team would not win a championship for the next 10 years.

3 down, 7 to go.

this is a joke right?

Gerald isn't even an NBA quality player right now, at least TA is solid enough to be most benches 7th or 8th man.

I am not going to blame Gerald for being young with us because we expected far to much from a Highschool forward with no college experience, but I have actually watched him since he was acquired by the Mavs & in Summer Leagues, and I say he could help us ALOT more than Tony could being that he has a few more skills like shooting a open jumper & he can drive & he can ebound a little better than Tony can. Nothing Major for Gerald, but he is not the same 20yr. old he was a celtic, he has improved a whole lot. He is just playing behind stud forwards in Dallas. Dirk, Howard, Stackhouse,etc. We go Pierce then free playing time!

how long does GG get a pass on his horrid play and (reported) atrocious work ethic as a "young player?" he's a 4 year vet. also, you make it sound like he's Dirk's backup. he was getting major minutes on that team and refused to play defense, so now he's back to the end of the bench.

hopefully GG will soon become "a European player" and then a "who?" player so i can stop hearing about his potential.

I'd honestly rather have Jeff Clark suit up and go out there than GMoney.

Or Tony Allen.

So what you're asking me is would I trade one of the dumbest basketball players I have ever seen for without a doubt the dumbest basketball player I have ever seen?

Dumb question. ;) :D ;D

Okay, just kidding but the answer is no. At least Tony can play some defense. Gerald is still learning to spell defense.

TP for the best joke I´ve heard this month.

i'd rather have soap07 suit up than green.

my god, is there anything that DOESN'TT spark another thread on green. this thread's appearance means that within a few hours this board's other "object of basketball desire" will soon be mentioned.

sigh.
I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.
